Track Listing

  1. Hira Hira Hiraku Himitsu no Tobira
  2. Doppelganger
  3. Ikuji Ari

1. Hira Hira Hiraku Himitsu no Tobira

We start the single with a powerhouse of a rock tune.  For being a all-girls band, I’m pretty surprised that their pretty catchy.  Lead singer, Eriki has a pretty distinct voice and does have some power, but I thought it was a little too nasally.  I do love the energetic performance and it’s a pretty fun song.  How she does the chorus without taking a breath for a while is impressive.  Otherwise, I do like this song.

2. Doppelganger

Doppelganger has an interesting rhythm but what really happened was that Eriko’s voice comes off even stranger than normal.  Tempo-wise it’s slower than the A-side which I guess made sense, but I just didn’t like how it flowed aimlessly.  The chorus though seemed to be more better.  I was kind left scratching my head as the song progressed and finished.

3. Ikuji Ari

The happiest and shortest track at a little over 2 minutes is actually the best song off the single.  It just flowed more precise and Eriko doesn’t bother me as much.  I can see why people like her because of her vitality in each track.  I still think her voice is odd but this wasn’t that apparant here.  I love the drummer here as well.  Very impressed.

 

 

Y’know, I knew what I was getting myself into and to be honest it’s a little inder my expectation but they seem to be a very energetic group altogether.  If I had to compare them, I’d say a female Orange Range perhaps.  This single was alright, I won’t give them a higher mark but they seem to know where they are going.  Hope, they release better things.
